Why do I need to grant ScreenPal permissions to my device, camera, and microphone?

When you install our application on your mobile device, you will receive several notifications asking you to grant permissions to our app.

Examples of permissions you might need to grant our application are displayed below.

Access to your photos

We need this access to all your photos in order to create a ScreenPal folder in your Photo app, so that ScreenPal can save screen recordings and other videos to your camera roll or gallery. All videos are saved to your device until you are ready to share them. Additionally, ScreenPal needs access to your camera roll so that you can import existing videos from your device into our app for editing.

If you have an Apple device using iOS 14 or above, you can choose between the following permission levels:

Select Photos: Shares only the photos you select with the ScreenPal app. The videos and photos you choose after selecting this option are the only ones you can edit within ScreenPal, unless you go into your device's settings and change the access setting for the ScreenPal mobile app.
Allow Access to All Photos: Shares all your photos and videos with the ScreenPal app. This includes photos and videos you take after your originally select this option.
Don't Allow: Shares no photos or videos with the ScreenPal app.

Access to your microphone

We need access to your microphone so we can record your voice when you create screen and camera recordings. You also need to enable access to your microphone in order to record narration using our Narrate tool.

Please note that we will only use your camera and microphone while you are capturing videos and narration. You can remove these permissions at any time from your device settings. For example:
